The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "OAR Projects Progress Reports 1968-1972.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is two (2) linear inches. The progress reports were...

If collective memory "requires the support of a group delimited in space and time," (Halbwachs 1992) how does archaeological work engaging local communities impact the memory of historical events? As scholars interested in the indigenous rebellion known as the Caste War (1847-1901) in Tihosuco, Mexico, we are often told by members of the local community who repopulated the area eighty years ago that we know more about the history of the uprising than they do. This paper seeks to explore three...

A series of test pits plus additional shovel probes and surface reconnaissance on Site Wb-24 indicated that the primary concentration of cultural materials had been in a field, where it was heavily disturbed, rather than the adjacent woods and that the wooded portion of the site contained only scattered remains that do not appear to meet the National Register criteria of significance. However, it was also noted that there are additional possibly significant sites associated with a nearby chert...
